"Back then, I was exiled to Jianye City because of an important matter. In order to avoid trouble, I pretended to be the same as before. It was not intentional to deceive. I hope Mr. Shen will forgive me." Ma Xiuxiu bowed.
"Exile?" Shen Luo caught this word sharply.
"To be honest, I am a member of Jubaotang. Because I made a mistake, I was punished to run a small shop in Jianye City. I was finally pardoned recently and returned to the main hall in Chang'an City." Ma Xiuxiu sat down and said.
"Miss Ma is from Jubaotang!" Shen Luo looked surprised.
He had been in Chang'an for more than half a month. Although he had not been out much, he had heard a lot about the situation in Chang'an City from Xie Yuxin and learned the names of several large forces among the immortal cultivators in Chang'an City.
The Tang government is naturally the leader in Chang'an City, but major sects such as Huasheng Temple and Putuo Mountain also have monks stationed in Chang'an City.
The Jubaotang is also a big force in Chang'an City. However, unlike the Tang Dynasty government, Huasheng Temple and other sects, the Jubaotang is a tycoon business family and one of the three major chambers of commerce in Chang'an City. It has many branches under its jurisdiction, almost covering all the major cities for cultivating immortals in the Tang Dynasty. It is even said that there is a presence of the Jubaotang outside the Tang Dynasty. Its influence is enormous.
"I'm just a small member of Jubaotang, not a big shot." Ma Xiuxiu smiled lightly.
"A small member can easily find out the whereabouts of Mr. Shen. The strength of Jubaotang is really unfathomable." Shen Luo smiled and said meaningfully.
"Please don't misunderstand, Fellow Daoist Shen. It is indeed a bit presumptuous of me to come here this time, but I have no ill intentions. I came here because of this talisman." Ma Xiuxiu said hurriedly, flipping her right hand.
A purple shadow flashed in her palm, and a piece of purple talisman paper appeared, which was a talisman for immobilization.
Shen Luo was very familiar with the strokes and patterns on this talisman, as it was drawn by him personally.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he understood how Ma Xiuxiu found this place.
"Back in Jianye City, I handled and sold countless talismans drawn by Master Shen, and I am quite familiar with your rune drawing habits. After I accidentally obtained this talisman, I saw some traces of Master Shen in the runes on it, so I mobilized some connections in Jubaotang, investigated the origin of this talisman, and found this place all the way." As expected, Ma Xiuxiu explained quickly.
"Yes, this talisman was indeed made by me." Shen Luo did not deny it and nodded.
"It is true. When you were in the Bai family, Mr. Shen, you could only draw low-level talismans like the small thunder talisman. It has only been a short time since then, and you have started to draw high-level talismans. Mr. Shen, you are indeed a talisman-making genius that is rarely seen in a century." Ma Xiuxiu's face showed excitement.
"Miss Ma, you are too kind. Miss Ma, you are going to so much trouble, is there something you want to ask me?" Shen Luo said modestly as usual, and then asked.
"I'm here to visit you because I do have something to ask for. Mr. Shen, please help me as we have known each other for many years." Ma Xiuxiu suddenly bowed deeply.
"Miss Ma, there is no need to be like this. You and I are old acquaintances. If it is within my ability, I will definitely help you. I just don't know what you want?" Shen Luo hurriedly helped the girl up.
